Identity check glove

Abstract

An identity check glove provides battery-powered light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the thumb which emit black light. The black light is used to check the authenticity of government issued identification cards, passports, and similar documents. Friction coating is provided on the thumb and forefinger to prevent important documents from slipping through the user's grasp.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An identity check glove, comprising:
 (a) a glove member;   (b) said glove member comprising a palm section connected to a back section;   (c) said back section and said palm section creating an open end;   (d) said open end forming a wrist section;   (e) said glove member further comprising a plurality of finger sections and a thumb section;   (f) said plurality of finger sections and said thumb section extending upwardly from said palm section and said back section such that said glove member is wearable;   (g) a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted to said thumb section;   (h) said plurality of light emitting diodes being configured for emitting ultra-violate light; and   (i) a power supply in electrical communication with said plurality of light emitting diodes.   
     
     
         2 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of finger sections and said thumb section have open ends. 
     
     
         3 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  wherein one of said plurality of finger sections is an index finger section, and wherein said thumb section and said index finger section have a friction coating. 
     
     
         4 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  further comprising a pressure activated on/off switch; said pressure activated on/off switch being electrically connected to and configured for controlling said plurality of light emitting diodes. 
     
     
         5 . The identity check glove of  claim 4  wherein said pressure activated on/off switch is located on said thumb section adjacent to said plurality of light emitting diodes. 
     
     
         6 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  further comprising a battery compartment; said battery compartment being located within said wrist section. 
     
     
         7 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  wherein said power supply comprises one or more replaceable batteries. 
     
     
         8 . The identity check glove of  claim 1  wherein said glove member is constructed from a durable, flexible fabric material.
